action

Ingmar, the Swede, is going to France with his fiancée Monika. There the two have something special in mind: the blonde was in love with Jean-Pierre during her student days and now wants to test her feelings for him again. But he is now married to Pauline. The two couples arrange a 48-hour meeting in a hotel, which understandably leads to great internal tension and stress. Monika surrenders to Jean-Pierre again. When Pauline becomes aware of this, she rushes to the professor that same night, who at the time also had an intimate relationship with Monika. Ingmar is also at risk, but keeps his head and even tries to balance. After the two days, the old common ground seems to have broken: the two women go their own way, the men too.

criticism

The lexicon of international film notes succinctly that the work is a "sex film with" problems ". The Evangelische Film-Beobachter sums up his criticism as follows: “Dreary, diffuse, with a lot of pseudo-philosophical blah-blah, this French color film, which has not been made unambitious, in no way satisfies, especially because of its unclear ending. For adults who want to be bored. "
